Spring Summer Winter never - who bleedin’ cares? Can. Very hazy gold beer, good bubbly cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent carbonation. Soft malts and pleasingly for a SIPA, not too thin, light creamy sweetness.Hops bring a soft skunk and smooth pine. A kinda creamy orange and mlld hop spice. Piney fruity finish. Nice - satisfies in both mouthfeel and flavour and thus is is better than 99% of the SIPAs out there. Very well joined up.

Keg at Bottle Shop. It pours cloudy pale gold with a medium white head. The aroma is rich, green, grassy, weed, danky, spring onions, ripe stone fruits and bread. The taste is smooth, mellow bitterness, green hops, grassy, weed, dankness, bread, apricot, nectarine and straw with a dryiah finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Tasty and well bodied session gear.

Can at home picked up from Caps and taps. A clouded hazed, golden orange coloured pour with lasting sticky white head. Attractive. Aroma is big dank hop, pencil eraser, rubber, oats and wheat, background tropical. Flavour is composed of raw wheaty grains, rolled oats, yeasty, dank hop, rubber and tangerine, spicy citrus finish. Palate is medium bodied with plenty of raw grains, moderate carbonation. Absolutely jam-packed with juicy dank hop flavour. Cracking!

Can at home in London - picked up at Ye Olde Hope Locker. Pours hazy golde with a frothy, pure white head. Nice dank hops nose, with ample full-bodied citrus fruits, tangerine, melon, a bit of pale bread. Light sweet flavour with biscuity pale malts, more tangerine and melon, low bitterness, some pine needles. Light in body with average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more dank and citrusy hops, steadying pale bread. I could easily drink a few buckets of this.

Can from Cork & Cask. Cloudy golden body with a medium white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pine, lychee, Jelly Babies, sponge cake and pineapple. Flavour of candied grapefruit, melon and orange sherbet. Medium body with a prickly mouthfeel. Light fizz. An amazing beer with huge flavour for the ABV.

Can on holiday in East Portlemouth, 29/04/17. Murky yellow to orange with a decent off white head. Nose is skunky come danko hop, light spice, orange pith, pine resin, sticky pineapple and grapefruit, soft bread. Taste comprises red grapefruit, pine, cantaloupe melon, citric soaked straw, toasted bread, orange pith, light mango chase. Medium body, fine carbonation, drying close peppered with dank hop bitterness. Solid stuff for the ABV ... packed with hop flavour and tropical fruit mayhem.

Can. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Pale gold. Super hazy. Good covering of frothy, foamy, lasting, white head. Nose is fresh cut orange. Nectarine. Some pineapple and pink grapefruit. Background of creamy, vanilla malts. Taste is lightly dry, with a grapefruit juice, bitter tang. Light body. Clean mouthfeel. Some hop oiliness. Turns pretty dry overall, with minimal bitterness on the close.
